    7-300 Norma Mag Improved

    You know how the US Marines got the international leg of their history started by going after the Barbary Pirates in Tripoli? Aoudad are also know as Barbary Sheep. Meaning you need either a big rifle or a lot of crayons to take them on 🤣

    7-300 Norma Mag Improved

    Awesome gun sir! I just got my reamer in from WTO about two weeks ago... I'm pumped to up to get one running! I think we all need to review the 4mils of muzzle jump, dead on vertical tracking, and the fact that that the sheep pretty much never left your ocular. That's a great brake and great...

    Rem 700 build

    223AI set up for the Berger 85.5gn, or 6x45 Improved. 58gn 6mm V-Max doesn't suffer anything compared to a 223 AI. The 204 Ruger is flatter in the vertical, but less so in the horizontal unless you happen to find some 55gn Bergers. 224 and 6mm have more heavy options.

    Like hunting subsonic suppressed? Here’s what is sounds like down range.

    Yes, easily. 300 BLK is enough IMO with a good bullet, and everything bigger has even more. 450 BM is my current favorite sub, will likely stay that way unless my 8.6 BLK failure was a fluke. The Bushmaster hits pigs like a sledge hammer. Not the best trajectory for unknown distance shots...

    Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

    I have this problem. For some reason I refuse to buy standard SAAMI spec reamers 🤣 I just can't justify the cost unless it's at least an AI, if not some other stupid changes just to make it fun. 6.5 Rocky (Gibbs neck on RUM case), 6 WSM, 20 WSSM, 17-223 AI, 22 Dasher, 30XC. Just something...

    New 300PRC build

    Atlas and Evolution are what I use. Very solid and stable.

    Down the rabbit hole i go!!

    4000+ FPS. Takes a zero mental math to make a shot when you can hold on hair to 400 yards.

    What’s up with Hornady’s reloading podcast?

    That's barely the brass budget for my ELR rifle 🤣 At current prices can't even get the primers included, much less powder. Sometimes new guns (even cheap ones) do shoot better than old ones. No damage from neglect, cleaning, handing, etc. If you can't hit the animal with the old gun, new one...

    Down the rabbit hole i go!!

    YEAH BUDDY! This might sound crazy..... but trust me and the Bean Man on this. Since you have all your need bases covered you should get some LIGHT bullets to try. Hammer or Cutting Edge have a good selection of light monos that you can push crazy fast and will smack when they get there. I'm...

    Reloading heavy 6mm bullets

    Can't give you anything on a Shaw barrel, but I do have multiple 243s set up to run the heavies. DTACs are great in my 7 twist 30" 243 AI. I run them at "moderate speed" of 3150 fps, but remember I have more case capacity and more barrel than you do so that's no where near stepping on the gas...

    Flattest shooting deer rifle

    Eh, still better than 30XC or 17-250 AI.

    Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

    ^^^ reminds me of the joke about a man sitting on a rooftop during a flood. Boat comes by, man says "no Jesus will save me". Helicopter comes by, man says "no Jesus will save me". Man drowns, dies, and meets Jesus - "WHY DIDN"T YOU SAVE ME?" Jesus says "what do you think the boat and...
